So, I'm probably going to get flamed for this but I'm going to admit that when DH or I talk to our exes we put the phone on speaker phone. There are two main reasons for this. One is so that the ex cannot email the other partner later trying to say that stuff went on that didn't (yeah, we've had this happen) but the BIGGEST reason is that it eliminates us from having to rehash the other side of the conversation and trying to remember what all was said. If anybody thinks this is wrong, fine, whatever. It works for us and that's all we care about.

It's been a pretty good week! I've only had to see BM one day this week, when it's usually everyday. She's finally following the no texting rule, so that's awesome. We had to deal with the usual mouthiness that SD picks up when at BM's, but DH shocked me that night. I asked SD where something was and she screamed back "I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS!" Before I could even open my mouth to respond, DH tells her "you will NOT yell at Marla, don't let me ever catch you talking to her like that again!" My jaw literally dropped because I'm used to being the one to correct her.

Ok, not sure where to start, but hoping this can be a good place to vent. I've been reading a lot of posts, and can relate to quite a few things I've read. Haven't come across a situation like mine, but maybe some one here can relate and possibly give some advice.

I was married for 11 years, got divorced this past summer. We just kind of outgrew each other and it was a long time coming. We have a 12 year old daughter, and our divorce was pretty amicable. We still get along fine, probably because we don't see each other everyday, lmao.
